MicrosoftWatch: Microsoft Revs Its ASP.Net Engines

At this week's VSLive! developer conference in San Francisco, Microsoft will be doing more than showing off its next-generation tools suite.

The company also will be beating the drum for its ASP .Net scripting language - Redmond's alternative to the open-source PHP.

To demonstrate momentum for ASP .Net, Microsoft is expected to highlight several projects the company has built using ASP. Net. And, plucking a page from the open-source book, Microsoft will likely tout the fact that it is making the full source code available to developers interested in these ASP .Net wares.
